OK Thanks. I'm still alive Emm.. Is TFT monitor suitable for games? And I need to recycle this CRT then...

Helo dirtwarrior, there isn't any bent pins. And I kindda 'adjusted' it somehow. It did not do the trick. ... how..?

LLXX, do you think I can repair the guns if it's minor problem like soldering or something..? Is it safe to open? Is it worth to send it for repair? Mine is a Samsung 753DFX CRT monitor. Or is it better to get a new monitor? Which type of monitor is suitable for gaming? Thanks.

I cleaned with alcohol swabs and reseated my card. My screen is still blue... how..?

Hmm. mine is slot into the mobo. Will try to remove, clean and see the results. BRB. Thanks.

Hello all, I hope you guys are willing to help me, recently my monitor had turned blue hue on off a couple of times. Sometimes it stays blue for a very long time. I don't think it's any settings fault. Either the monitor or my Vidcard. I recently installed Americas Army 2.7 game and played it. Could that game been to harsh to my monitor/vidcard since that game is a heavy program..? any advice? TQ.

Thanks Andromeda for your reply! can I use any soap? hand soap too? I don't have a 'bottle' of isopropyl alcohol, I only have them in swabs. Do I need to rinse the RAM stick in it?

I'll try the cleaning 1st, do u think wiping the contact points with alchohol swabs will work?

Nitro, Nop they are not overclocked. Infact I think it's running at 100 MHz(original value is 133MHz, it's a DDR btw). Underclocked. LLXX, how much increment should I give the RAM module? Can I overvolt only one module(faulty one)(I have 2)?

Hello, Is there possibility to repair RAM modules maybe by using a software? one of my RAM stick is sometimes faulty, sometimes it works. Any idea? Thanks.

Here: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) The driver that is showing that msg is the "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator" My one and only soundcard is an 'onboard' one. I did not touch my BIOS recently..

Thanks vinod again. I did what u suggested but the exclamation mark is still there once it detected the hardware and reinstall. hmmm

Thanks guys for the reply. I disabled the quick boot like vinodh suggested. The test repeated itself for like 3 times and then it proceded. Is that normal? Those problems like my DVD ROM and sound card still persist. I also took out my ram modules and wipe the dust of them and cleaned the contact points.. What should I do now?>

Hello guys, Here's the prob. When I boot the computer, at the boot screen, it sometimes doesn't show it's 'checking' for the memory(usually it goes from 0 to whatever amount memory I have, 512MB). it skips that step at certain boot ups. When windows is loaded, my DVD drive does not appear(it appears to have problems in device manager), but it did appear to be in the IDE at the boot screen. My soundcard seem to have problem like the DVD drive too. I 'chkdsk' and found some errors, but after correcting, the problem still persists. I did a 'SFC /Scannow' but it failed because my DVD drive can't read my in XP CD. The SMART hard drive info/attributes is all fine. I can't seem to edit the registry although the remote registry is started. Certain programs I installed seemed to not run smoothly. Like my anti-virus prog, it doesn't run it's auto shield. Help me guys, which part of my computer is causing the problem? Thank you.

Hello guys, My computer has this problem that whenever I press the "on" button it wont boot but instead it keeps restarting to try to boot. My computer monitor still stays blank. After some time of 'restarting', I switch it off on the main socket switch and then turn it back on again. It boots after that. Why does my computer needs to get 'warmed up' like what I have mentioned above? Thanks..

OK guys, probs solved. Had many Brontok.c worm and spywares that my NOD32 and adaware did not recognize.. I'm keeping the auto guard ewido

I've done that, but to no effect. Now trying ewido.. is a good software?

Hello guys, My pc been acting a bit off lately. Sometimes I hear the 'tung' sound from the cpu(the sound at the moment right b4 the pc turns off). It remains on, but a bit jammy and slow. The memory seems to be used by not sure what because it doesn't match with the amount of prog open(and the RAM used). The problem can be seen clearly when I open "msconfig", the pc just restarts right away. But b4 that I managed to see some rubbish programs 'on the tick'. Any idea what should I do? tq... *I scanned with NOD32(updated) and found no virus. *Also, now I see my computer is processing, I'm also seeing "ping.exe" on the task manager..

Inhell woohoo!!

Hi guys, I know I've been posting asking too much about cooling stuffs. But I still can't stand it. The noise from my cheap MSI P4MAM2-V (7095) is driving me crazy. The sound isn't pleasant. I've installed a case fan to help bring the noise down by bringging the mobo/cpu temp down. I rather prefer the fan noise than the mobo The noise comes from the CPU area and is definately not the CPU fan which is noisy. It sounds like "tuu.." or "woo..". High pitch. It gives me headache at times. Please help me. I want to get rid of that noise...TQ. Edit: Mobo: 37c CPU: 36c HD: 32c CPU fan: 2500RPM I consider the temps are good to me, but still noisy

Well I remembered b4 the power cut, I disabled some services..

Thanks DEADsoldier I wish the cpu would be placed rotated 90 degrees to the right. Then air flow would be blown to the heatsink below as well. I touched that head sink. It's very hot.. Anyway, what's below that heatsink? Anyway, can I touch the mosfets to see if it's hot and requires cooling?

That's just a pic of my mobo. Is it the heatsink below the CPU that needs the most cooling on the mobo? Got another question. Can I remove the case fan from the power suply box and move it towards another mounting spot just right below the PSU? Will the PSU burn like that or something? Alright. Thanks.

So what service should I reenable?

Hello, I had a sudden electricity cut recently.. Then when it came back and and I switch my pc back on.. I see things a bit different.. Like this Doesn't have that 'frequently accessed programs' list.. I ran 'chkdsk' in 'run'. Did not fix the prob. Well, I hope some of you can help me out. Probably there's more 'glitch' which I haven't come across. OS: Win XP Pro Corp SP2
